I'd go for a Ped-Egg.

Best thing I have found for feet - aqueous cream and cotton socks twice a day! Works a treat and costs pence!

I have found the Scholl Rough Skin Remover scrub, followed by Scholl Moisturising foot cream is very effective.

I keep the foot cream by my bed and slather it on before hitting the sheets

Vick works like a dream.I have horrid feet due to wearing wellies a lot,but 3 nights of putting on Vick and a pair of socks overnight,and a quick go over with a ped egg [Avon's cheapie one] and they are smoother than they've ever been.Even dh commented on them.

flexitol foot cream is magic

pippibluestocking · 19/03/2010 23:21

Flexitol heel balm is fantastic

miche8 · 19/03/2010 23:31

flexitol is great, smells abit odd - medical smell. The tube lasts forever.

i found the ped egg useless, just made the skin even rougher and dry, have a body shop sander thing which is much better.

MinkyBorage · 21/03/2010 00:08

It smells funny because it's got piss in it, which is also the reason it works so well.

Zembo · 21/03/2010 06:26

Body shop foot file + flexitol.

SofaQueen · 21/03/2010 06:34

Barielle is fantastic. It was originally developed for race horses, and I imagine that their feet are pretty calloused!

Another Flexitol fan here.

OurLadyOfPerpetualSupper · 21/03/2010 10:03

Is that what the urea is, Minky?
I like flexitol also, but Neutogena have now brought out a foot cream which works even better for me, the softness lasts a couple of days.

vjg13 · 21/03/2010 11:17

I like the Compeed cracked heel cream.

rubyslippers · 21/03/2010 11:18

ped egg is amazing

Flexitol foot cream or CSC foot cream are excellent

No7 have one in an orange tube which is lovely too

What MrsvWoolf said.

Scholl foot file with purple handle is the best file I have used.......much better then ped egg imho.

Flexitol is amazing........ Use both and baby feet will be yours in a few days!

MrsGazebo · 21/03/2010 14:54

Get your self a Body Shop File a Foot and some Hemp Foot Protector (smells earthy, but better than wee!) and if you can, sleep in cotton socks.
It's amazing.

Ped eggs are crap.

babyOcho · 22/03/2010 21:33

Going to get myself down to Boots tomorrow for some Flexitol.

Flexitol is the best. What's a pedi egg by the way?!

Bodenbabe · 23/03/2010 11:38

Doesn't the cream jkust sink into the cotton socks instead of into your foot? I've alwats heard that you should wear cotton socks but I don't understand why!

Benjy · 23/03/2010 13:57

Try Boots Intensive Softening Foot Cream. Contains urea like Flexitol but also fruit acids. Have tried both and found this more effective and quicker acting. It is also much cheaper and Boots have a 3 for 2 offer on footcare products at the moment.

Agree with other posters about putting cotton socks on after applying the cream - makes a big difference.

MrsGazebo · 24/03/2010 00:44

Cotton socks lock in the moisture and act as another barrier Bodenbabe
They also let your skin breathe at the same time.

I really need to get out more.
